    Depending on the size of the piece, you could also use electrolysis to remove the rust before applying primer. Fill a plastic bucket with water, add a bit of borax, and hang both the piece and a scrap of rebar from a length of wood that lays across the top of the bucket, using bare coat hanger wire. Set the charger to 12V/2A. Attach the positive clamp to the wire holding the rebar, and the negative to the wire holding the workpiece. You should see good results within two hours or so.

    Forgot to mention that you should use a car battery charger. Sorry about that.

    The piece of metal in question has been dealt with. Thanks for the advice. No need to respond further.
